Feminine Baby Girl Names

I am expecting our third child - a girl! We have an Ophelia & Thor and are struggling with our newest addition's name. I would like something feminine like Ophelia, but also strong like Thor. We have German, Norwegian and Icelandic roots so something along those lines would be a bonus.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Thank you! These are great :)
Names I love from these suggestions
Eleonora/Leonora - was a choice for my first daughter
Genevieve - this name is growing on me! Also a family name :)
Sophie/Sophia are family names but thinking it is too common?
Ingrid/Inga both family names I think I might play around with them for the middle name? Or else Ivy because it is a family name as well.
My husband loves Lucille.
I LOVE Romilly but I can’t get my husband on board. :( any other suggestions like this?
New names I like from this chat, Juno, Hedda, Iselin (never heard of this), and Florence (or else Flora?).
What do you think of Lilo?

I admire your names being different. Could you find Scandinavian or Nordic names to at least match Thor but sound similar or like a sib set to Ophelia?

Astrid, Amalia, Agneta

Iselin
Has good Nordic roots. It's my choice if I have a girl. I think it's strong but pretty.

Or perhaps Saga.

midsomermurderess · 02/02/2020 20:32

Hedda, Ingrid or Linnea.

Have any of the suggestions helped @DAGQ

We have chosen Ophelia so may have similar taste. Others on my list were...

Delilah
Florence
Alice
India
Raphaella
Arabella
Thea (perhaps too close to Thor)
